THERE ARE HONEST PEOPLE
We have been razed plenty the past
two months for letting the Waste-
basket fall by the Wayside. So, we'll
make a feeble attempt at revivin' it.

It wouldn'd make anybody mad If
some of you readers sent in an idea

An Honest Bum
After passing out dimes and quarters for some time to the roving population, we finally decided to offer the
panhandlers a little job in return for
the handouts—piling wood in back of
the office, pulling weeds or most anything we could think of when they
Stopped in to make their request for
two-bits-
t- H: * *
This slowed up the quarter-passing
no small amount—but we were called
all kinds of names for expecting the
poor fellows to spend ten or fifteen
minutes in the back lot for something
to eat. Not all of them were that
way—some of them would grunt and
spend a little while in the weed-patch
or wrestle with the wood-pile before
coming in for their coffee-an-
* * * *
The other day a fellow of 4.1, stopped in and after the usual request we
told him about the weeds etc. He
spent at least half an hour witli the
weeds and debris before coming in
for his two-bits. He thanked us kindly and was off to buy anything hut
food—we thought.
* * * *
About ten minutes later, while returning from the P. (.).. we saw the
rider of rods walking down the street
with a loaf of bread and a box of
crackers under his arm and believe it
or not we had an urge to walk up and
give him another two-bits-

gets angry."

All Farmers Now
It,'s a funny thing but as soon as
election time rolls 'around all the big
politicians remember all they know
about running farms, milking cows,
and feeding the pigs and have their
pictures taken on every coiner of the
160 acre plot. But we'll lay dollars to
doughnuts that the biggest share of
them wouldn't know whether to lead
the Chickens to water or milk the
pigs—but votes is what counts.

SERMON FOR THE WEEK
"Yet there is room!" Luke 14: 22
jfor nineteen centuries now the call of
the Gospel lias gone out a sin lost
world: "Come; for all things are
now ready." And yet there are over
eight hundred million poor heathens
in the world who have never heard of
their redemption by Christ and still
are strangers from the covenant of
hope and promise and are without
God in this world- In addition to that
there are the many unchurched in our
civilized countries. In our own America, there are sixty five million souls
said to be living and dying without
Christ and the saving Gospel- oh.
what an incentive for the Church
Which is feasting on the heavenly
bread of the Gospel, to remember
these countless starving souls and to
do what our Saviour bids: ''Go out
into the highways and hedges and
compel them to come in to the marriage supper of the Lamb." Compel
them! But how? It cannot be done
by physical force or by passing all
kinds of .Sabbath laws or temperance
laws or any other kind of laws with
,a view to making people better and
more virtuous. You cannot legislate
morality, much less religion, into the
sinful human heart. Force here will
only make hypocrites or rebels. The
only compulsion our Lord Jesus knows
of in His soul-winning work and betterment of mankind, is that of the all-
compelling force of His redeeming,
pardoning, and saving love revealed
in His Gospel that saved the old
world from moral ruin and destruction. It is the only power to save the
present world. What we need in
these evil days is Christians who are
consumed, as the first Christians were
with burning love for their perishing
fellow-men, and like Peter and John,
in the face of all opposition and persecution, declare "We cannot but
speak the things which we have seen
and heard, for there is none other
name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved, but the
name of Jesus."
The Church is ever willing and ready to go to any extent in giving such
Christianity to all men. It can give
them the faith by which souls are
eternally saved anil men are made better. There is room for all men in
Christianity hut they must come to
the Church in order to get it. A
church which extends this opportunity to you is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of I'ine River, holding its
services in the Swedish Lutheran
Church next Sunday afternoon at 2:30
p. m.
—Rev. Kath
where we are still unknown to many.
When our title, "North American
Trapper Association" is mentioned, an
Impression comes to the reader that
such an association is interested in
trapping only- However, while we
truly are an association devoted to
the (interest of American trappers,
our organization promotes the conservation of ALL valuable and beneficial
wildlife. For instance, we even go so
far as to guard and protect wild
shrubs, trees, flowers and any and all
wildlife regardless of its kind. In doing this you can plainly understand
that many citizens are interested who
don't even know the least thing about
a steel trap or a fire-arm. We regret
very much that more is not known
Bhout us in this section, realizing that
this condition must be overcome, we
Lave adopted a program whereby we
hope every citizen of the state will
'earn to know us better and that a
friendship will come to exist between
our Association and every citizen In
the state of Minnesota.
A state convention has been planned for the state of Minnesota, to De
heM in I'ine River, sometime in the
early part of November. No specific
dares can yet be named, owing to
some difficulty in selecting a time
niusi acceptable for the large.it number. The dates will be announced as
soon as definite action is taken.
Speakers will be present who will
illustrate every phase of each variety
ami specie of our local family of wild
life as well as many which &rz strange
to this section of the country. These
talks will be delivered with a tme
realization that they are coming from
men that have proven themselves
qualified through, a lifetime of study-
You will hear old-timers tell about
conditions as they were when they
were but a boy, others that come from
the plains and who will illustrate by
word of mouth what border days used
to be, men of the present who travel
the trails under all conditions and,
who feel at home in the great outdoors. iWe are quite some family, all
welded together with the one ambition
as our goal, that of moulding an asso-
ciation with that magnetic something
about it that will attract sportsmen
from every phase of life.
Our principal, immediate aim is to
bring enough force into play to convince *our United States government
and its representatives that a program of protection must be originated
whereby the American trapper will lie
given a fair chance to compete with
trappers of foreign countries- Is it
news to you to hear that most all foreign raw furs are imported to the U
S. "duty free?" That our exports of
American raw furs are heavily taxed
and that through this condition, a
very critical condition has developed,
whereby the American trapper is denied the fair and honest prices of former days? Did I hear you say "why
should I be interested in such a matter?" Here is the answer:
Suppose you had located in your
city or community, a factory or other
institution that was bringing to that
city or community each month, over a
period of four months during the winter, a payroll of $9,000 per month.
Would you stand idly by and. see such
an income taken away from your community? Your local trapper brings to
you -just such an amount each season.
He is the workman that helps to operate the factory. His factory is represented by the woods, lakes and the
streams throughout ttie country side.
From these woods, lakes and streams
he gathers raw furs that are converted into cash which is spent in this
immediate community witli you.
Your local I'ine River Commercial
Club is backing this convention to

the Association, is working over-time

THE HAND OF YOU
Sometimes when shadows cross my

As shadows sometimes do,

And touch the hand of you.

But oh, it comforts in the dark
rl'o touch the baud of you.
Through all the silence of the years,
Through friendships old ami new.
One dear memory of my life—
I touched the hand of you-
So clouds and sorrows come along,
We all must have a few;
But through them all, please God, let
me
Still touch the hand of you.

of in His soul-winning work and betterment of mankind, is that of the all-
compelling force of His redeeming,
pardoning, and saving love revealed
in His Gospel that saved the old
world from moral ruin and destruction. It is the only power to save the
present world. What we need in
these evil days is Christians who are
consumed, as the first Christians were
with burning love for their perishing
fellow-men, and like Peter and John,
in the face of all opposition and persecution, declare "We cannot but
speak the things which we have seen
and heard, for there is none other
name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved, but the
name of Jesus."
The Church is ever willing and ready to go to any extent in giving such
Christianity to all men. It can give
them the faith by which souls are
eternally saved anil men are made better. There is room for all men in
Christianity hut they must come to
the Church in order to get it. A
church which extends this opportunity to you is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of I'ine River, holding its
services in the Swedish Lutheran
Church next Sunday afternoon at 2:30
p. m.
—Rev. Kath
where we are still unknown to many.
When our title, "North American
Trapper Association" is mentioned, an
Impression comes to the reader that
such an association is interested in
trapping only- However, while we
truly are an association devoted to
the (interest of American trappers,
our organization promotes the conservation of ALL valuable and beneficial
wildlife. For instance, we even go so
far as to guard and protect wild
shrubs, trees, flowers and any and all
wildlife regardless of its kind. In doing this you can plainly understand
that many citizens are interested who
don't even know the least thing about
a steel trap or a fire-arm. We regret
very much that more is not known
Bhout us in this section, realizing that
this condition must be overcome, we
Lave adopted a program whereby we
hope every citizen of the state will
'earn to know us better and that a
friendship will come to exist between
our Association and every citizen In
the state of Minnesota.
A state convention has been planned for the state of Minnesota, to De
heM in I'ine River, sometime in the
early part of November. No specific
dares can yet be named, owing to
some difficulty in selecting a time
niusi acceptable for the large.it number. The dates will be announced as
soon as definite action is taken.
Speakers will be present who will
illustrate every phase of each variety
ami specie of our local family of wild
life as well as many which &rz strange
to this section of the country. These
talks will be delivered with a tme
realization that they are coming from
men that have proven themselves
qualified through, a lifetime of study-
You will hear old-timers tell about
conditions as they were when they
were but a boy, others that come from
the plains and who will illustrate by
word of mouth what border days used
to be, men of the present who travel
the trails under all conditions and,
who feel at home in the great outdoors. iWe are quite some family, all
welded together with the one ambition
as our goal, that of moulding an asso-
ciation with that magnetic something
about it that will attract sportsmen
from every phase of life.
Our principal, immediate aim is to
bring enough force into play to convince *our United States government
and its representatives that a program of protection must be originated
whereby the American trapper will lie
given a fair chance to compete with
trappers of foreign countries- Is it
news to you to hear that most all foreign raw furs are imported to the U
S. "duty free?" That our exports of
American raw furs are heavily taxed
and that through this condition, a
very critical condition has developed,
whereby the American trapper is denied the fair and honest prices of former days? Did I hear you say "why
should I be interested in such a matter?" Here is the answer:
Suppose you had located in your
city or community, a factory or other
institution that was bringing to that
city or community each month, over a
period of four months during the winter, a payroll of $9,000 per month.
Would you stand idly by and. see such
an income taken away from your community? Your local trapper brings to
you -just such an amount each season.
He is the workman that helps to operate the factory. His factory is represented by the woods, lakes and the
streams throughout ttie country side.
From these woods, lakes and streams
he gathers raw furs that are converted into cash which is spent in this
immediate community witli you.
Your local I'ine River Commercial

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Eva Ruth Volk
who passed away one year ago September 18.
THE HAND OF YOU
Sometimes when shadows cross my
path,
As shadows sometimes do,
I reach my hands across the mist
And touch the hand of you.
I know the sun is in the sky,
I know trui- love is true,
But oh, it comforts in the dark
rl'o touch the baud of you.
Through all the silence of the years,
Through friendships old ami new.
One dear memory of my life—
I touched the hand of you-
So clouds and sorrows come along,
We all must have a few;
But through them all, please God, let
me
Still touch the hand of you.
